  VAXectomy
  
     <jargon> /vak-sek't*-mee/ (By analogy with "vasectomy")
     Removal of a VAX.  DEC's Microvaxen, especially, are
     much slower than newer RISC-based workstations such as the
     SPARC.  Thus, if one knows one has a replacement coming, VAX
     removal can be cause for celebration.
